Obviously, the first thing most people think of when they hear the term "show off" tends to be that someone is being arrogant or let's face it, probably kind of a jerk about something they can do or something they possess. To me, over the past few years, it's come to mean something so much more.
From my vantage point, I see people through the lens of my camera and I want them to love the images that I document for them. It makes me smile to see someone post images from our sessions on their Facebook or Twitter accounts, but even more so, I LOVE to see them hanging these images on the walls of their homes! Family, no matter how nutty they can be sometimes, is truly a gift from our Father, and having images hanging in your home is a way to remember those you love and treasure the time you have with them.
What's even more fun than hanging the images in your home or at your office? Wearing them! I went through several months of trying different materials when I decided to start making portrait jewelry, and after spending a little *too* much money on components that didn't live up to my expectations, I finally found the right stuff. My products are made with high quality components, jeweler grade resin that is waterproof, won't fade or yellow over time, and has exceeded my expectations! While I provide a great product, I also make sure that it's at a cost that is within reach. Comparable items that are made with water "resistant" products that aren't long lasting cost as much or more than what I offer, especially in my vintage comic line. I want you to be able to enjoy your jewelry for a long time, not just wear it a few times and have it lose color or fall apart.
I can take treasured old image, a picture you snapped on your cell and posted to Instagram, one that I've taken during a portrait session, however you have an image you love, if you can get it to me, I can turn it into a piece of wearable art for you to "show off" the ones that are closest to your heart. From an Instagram pendant to a memorial piece for someone who has suffered a loss and anything in between, these can be with you whenever you want, not just when you happen to glance on the wall or pull it up on your phone.
In addition to portrait jewelry, I also create one of a kind vintage comic jewelry, using hand selected images from vintage comics. This is such a fun way to release your inner geek! You may have to dress a certain way for work or school, but adding accessories with your favorite character or series is your chance to show off what you love. Each piece is unique and features heroes or villains, word bubbles or just plain cool scenes from your favorite comics. If I don't have your favorite in stock, I am happy to do custom orders and can ship worldwide.
Sports jewelry is another great way to show off. If you let me know your favorite team, it's colors and mascot, I can create a custom design for your jewelry, even adding in a jersey number or the name of your favorite player. Moms, if your kids play sports but you don't want to wear the tee shirt to every game, these are super fun! Plus, who doesn't want to glam up their soccer mom look every once in a while, right!

Introducing #GeekGirlAccessories
As the wife of a sci-fi and comic fan, I've been introduced to characters and shows that I normally would have never seen. I've visited comic book stores and watched shows with him, and it dawned on me. I always see tees and other items geared toward the male fans, but not much in the way of cute and girly items, like a cute "girl cut" tee, but even more so, jewelry. I've been making custom portrait and logo jewelry for quite a while, and have perfected my craft as far as knowing what materials will last and how to deliver the best product possible to my customers, but now, it's time to kick it up a little.
A few weeks ago, while at an antique mall, my hubby found a 1960's Superman comic and was going to buy it for his collection. As I was looking through it, the thought came to me. How awesome would it be to make pendants, rings and bracelets with vintage comics! I had a family portrait session that day (covering a 90th birthday) and couldn't wait to get started. From this idea, the #GeekGirlAccessories line came to fruition. I mean, seriously, wouldn't it be fun to be able to wear stylish accessories that feature some of your favorite things? The rectangle pendants could make your business attire more bearable, or just worn with your favorite tee! My sweet husband went through his comics and decided that he could part with a few, so in addition to my Superman jewelry, I was able to make some Avengers and X-Men pieces, which I currently have for sale.
These are available for purchase, along with more that aren't pictured here on the blog, including some Dr. Who T.A.R.D.I.S. pendants. Do you have a certain character/series you'd like me to feature on a pendant, made especially for you? Shoot me a message at jphillips@Hisfingerprintphotography.com and let me know what you'd like. Special orders can take up to 2 weeks, but if I already have it in stock or have a comic with that character already, 5-7 days would be typical. $3.00 shipping in the continental US, other places based on estimated shipping costs. The square pendants run $15.00 each and the rectangle pendants (featured above) are $20.00 each. All of them come with a silver plated ball chain necklace.
